Brilliant - a real classic! Thanks for posting and for reminding us of the golden years of Corrie

It makes me sad to see how good it used to be.

If a grown adult is unaware that cheese is made of milk then they probably have special needs, which is nothing to laugh at.
That annoyed me ,there are hundreds of cheeses that are not made from milk. dumb Chesney Chuckle strikes again.

If Tracy was ever 'front of house' in the Bistro, it wouldn't last five minutes. I imagine Robert would realise this. He may be 'in love' with her but he can't be blind to the fact that no-one likes her and she has a dreadful attitude problem. Not good in business.

I can't see her staying in the florist shop when she could 'queen' it over everyone in the 'Beestro'. Let's hope the sale never happens.

I'm sure Eva had a very good reason for leaving work early without asking permission, just telling them she was going? Oh, yes, to collect simon from school!

Tracy was drinking in the bistro, ken was just floating around. If he needs to be collected, why couldn't one of them do it?

But why would Simon need collecting, anyway? He's a teenager, isn't he, or close? And the school's just around the corner. Meanwhile, who was collecting Amy from school?

How long are the Connors supposed to have been in business? If you start messing around with your existing customers in order to attract a new one, doesn't he know what'll happen eventually? All his current customers will leave, and he'll have only one big customer. Guess what'll happen to prices then?
Eva was collecting Simon from football practice which I assume wasn't being held at the school, although I do agree couldn't Ken or Tracy have collected him?

Ken maybe, but you can't really expect Tracy to take care of someone else's child when she can't even be bothered with her own.

Eva moves the factory thief into Leanne's flat without asking Leanne, my guess something will get nicked, and what about the choppers on her, was she wearing dentures or what, with teeth like them she could eat an apple through a tennis racquet.

Yes you are right, Tracy certainly won't ever win mother of the year award

Leanne seemingly arranging an appointment with her bank manager and being granted a loan within about five minutes
Didn't think anyone saw their bank manager any more. Isn't it your "Personal Banker" or "Business Adviser" or "Financial Adviser", and not any of them who decides on whether or not you get a loan anyway, but a computer program after a human has entered all your details?

And those huge gnashers looked like they had some whitening work done too.

I agree, Coronation Street isnt a documentary but they really should get the simple things right. Leanne rings the bank, gets an appointment to see the manager the same day and is given the loan, sheer stupidity

When Gary asked Izzy why she was using cannabis she said it took the pain away so she could clean the flat. She seems to have forgotten that she doesn't live in a flat, she lives in a bungalow.

Could you name a few? I thought milk was part of the definition of cheese. Or do you mean imitation milk, milk substitutes?

I must have missed that, but why would he have football practice on a schoolday afternoon? Anyway, what respectable teenager wants their mummy meeting them at the school gate?

That will be the after affects of taking cannabis if she carries on taking it she will end up complexity barmy and won't be able to remember anything.

Why on earth would Izzie be asking Erica about cannabis,surely she'd have asked Kylie where Callum hangs out now, after all her sister dumped Callum because he was a drug deal er, plenty of others to ask, for goodness sake even Emily talked about Spider's funny 'herbal' cigarettes and enjoyed Breaking Bad, Sylvia and her cakes in Roy's. Doesn't seem like it would be difficult to find.

It was Erica who told Izzy about the pain relieving benefits of cannabis in the first place and put the idea in Izzy's head. Izzy didn't just randomly ask Erica out of nowhere

Memory loss is the first stage. Eating your baby is the second stage, but the most serious stage is the ravages on your body. Just look at the state of Erica, she's only twenty six.

Probably not, characters in corrie very rarely seem to know or use the word sorry
They may not say sorry very often but forgiveness seems to be almost compulsory. No matter what bad thing someone does, within weeks it is forgotten and usually never mentioned again.

Well this is the same idiot that thought Beth was going to die because Sinead referred to her as a hypochondriac and actually stormed his way into a doctor's office to shout about it.

Other moronic moments include him thinking unicorns exist and thinking some giant mouse was living in the back of the factory and making comments about Tom and Jerry. Kirk's stupid behaviour and crap he spouts out with is just embarrassing. How the heck does he function in everyday life? Unless of course he is putting it on.
Corrie like to dumb down their characters and make them simpletons.

I somehow get the feeling that Simon's inheritance has been drained of cash by his relations about a half dozen times before?

I am fairly sure that with a chronic condition such as Izzie's she would be well aware of ALL pain relief options without having to be 'informed' by Erica. That she wouldn't is a SOR, as was not just asking Kylie instead of asking Erica in the first plac(after being informed of something she supposedly knew nothing about), totally ridiculous

?
There are hundreds of plant based cheeses out there, made from soya, almonds, rice, cashews to name but a few, there is no way that Chesney Chuckle has got to his age and not noticed a non dairy milk cheese in the shops.
